The weather was perfect, the crowd was amazing and the chefs were nothing short of spectacular. All of the contenders created dishes that were above and beyond anything we expected for what is on surface, a humble dish of three simple ingredients. However, ultimately a winner had to be chosen and a poutine champion had to be crowned. For the voters choice the winner was Marion Street Eatery with their ‘Sweet and Salty’ which was poutine topped with apple onion relish, Jack Daniels gravy, Bothwell cheese curds, goats cheese, spicy bacon and candied almond crumble. This years judges chose ‘The Schwartz’ by Maws Garage which consisted of dill pickle fries, caraway smoked cheese curds, mustard and beef brisket gravy. The winning restaurants were presented with a trophy that is theirs to keep until next years battle.

We sincerely want to thank all of the participating restaurants, our amazing sponsors, all of the staff at Fort Gibraltar and of course the fine folks of Winnipeg that made this event such a success. We can’t wait to eat our weight in fries, gravy and cheese curds again with you next year. Much Love and stay hungry, always.
